Gasket Torque Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Gasket Torque.
Tg =F*D*k / 1000
- Where Tg is the Gasket Torque (N-m)
- F is the bolt load (N-m)
- D is the diameter (mm)
- k is the nut factor (k-value)
How to Calculate Gasket Torque?
The following example problems outline how to calculate the Gasket Torque.
Example Problem #1
- First, determine the bolt load (N-m). In this example, the bolt load (N-m) is given as 50 .
- Next, determine the diameter (mm). For this problem, the diameter (mm) is given as 20 .
- Next, determine the nut factor (k-value). In this case, the nut factor (k-value) is found to be 40.
- Finally, calculate the Gasket Torque using the formula above:
Tg =F*D*k / 1000
Inserting the values from above and solving yields:
Tg =50*20*40 / 1000 = 40 (N-m)
Example Problem #2
Using the same method as above, determine the variables required by the equation. For this example problem, these are provided as:
bolt load (N-m) = 60
diameter (mm) = 40
nut factor (k-value) = 80
Enter these given values yields:
Tg =60*40*80 / 1000 = 192 (N-m)
